The Next Great Young Player

Cody Bellinger certainly produced a great deal of offense in his first eleven games. His batting average stands at .357, with five multi-hit games. He draws walks, with an OBP at .413. He hits for power, as seven of his 15 hits went for extra bases, including five home runs. With his high OBP and home runs, he scored 11 runs, and with his high BA and slugging percentage (.786), he drove in 14 runs. He is the complete offensive package at seasonal age 21. Note that he’s off to a much better start than Bryce Harper in 2012, and Harper’s start was considered so good the Nationals could not send him down.

Note that in 89 games at AAA, Bellinger hit .372/.449/.731, so it looks like he has nothing to prove in the minors.
